New 2-wire Serial Interface EEPROM -- HT2201

November 15, 2004

Holtek is delighted to announce the formal release of its new 2-wire serial interface EEPROM, the HT2201. By providing designers with a new high-performance, and low cost EEPROM solution, and being especially suited to work with MCU applications, the device will find its home among an extensive range of products. Having a capacity of 1Kb, the applications for this device is specifically directed at those products with lower non-volatile memory capacity requirements, reducing the costs of the traditional EEPROM solution.

The HT2201 is compatible with the I2C interface, requiring only 2 lines for its signal interface. Device specifications include a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz, a 5ms write cycle time, a 5mA write current, an operating voltage ranging from 2.2V to 5.5V and a temperature range of -40℃to 85℃. An integrated timer is provided for write operations. The device will also automatically execute an erase operation before a write cycle is implemented. The HT2201 has a write capacity of 1 million cycles, and a data retention time of 40 years.

As the device comes in both 4-pin SIP and SOT-25 extra-small package types, it is especially suitable to meet the demands of those products where space is at a premium. Holtek is happy to provide samples of this new device in addition to being able to provide the device in production volumes.
